The Heir
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
The Mors Vistra as a concept was one which was held amongst the Tsis'Kaar leadership for quite a while. The Tsis'Kaar as materially the weakest of the Sith Triumvirate, were always forced to take upon a spartan, small, and first-class design philosophy, pushing what limited resources they had to their limit, in creating weapons which though fewer in number than their peers, though smaller in scale, were designed to be far superior.
Such a design philosophy did not always have the desired results, yet it was what would create the Mors Vistra. The Tsis'Kaar answer to the Mors Mon and the Malsheem of the Eternalists and Kainites, where the latter was a shipbuilder, a veritable mobile capital, and the latter a fleetholder, a terror of size and destruction, the Mors Vistra would be a fleetkiller, sleek, compartmentalised, and small, a ship that would silently prowl for its targets, and able to wait patiently for its bounty.
And when unleashed, would utterly destroy its query.
Such was the spirit of its design. Where the Kainites and Eternalists, limitless in their resources and strength, would across many worlds, build hordes of ships, if the Mors Vistra could slip their lines, if it could remain undetected, remain undamaged, then it could wreak havoc. Win the battle of attrition.
Or so was the hope.
Put together across the various Tsis'Kaar worlds in utmost secrecy, various components of the vessel was given to loyalist shipbuilders, in parts, so that no one could ever leak the full plans of the vessel to either factions. And when each component was finished, they would be transported by loyalist captains, upon specialised Tsis'Kaar vessels, hidden both mechanically and by the Force.
To be assembled at Fiviune, where it would face its destiny, along with the rest of the Tsis'Kaar, in the fires of war.

- Stealth - Designed by the masters of secrecy and darkness, the Mors Vistra is the penultimate craft of stealth capabilities. Overcoming the difficulties of making such a large vessel essentially invisible, the Mors Vistra has the capabilities necessary for its designed task, to approach undetected an enemy fleet, and then utterly annihilate them.
- Hard Hitter - With its peers amongst the grand Malsheem and Mors Mon, the Mors Vistra is a relatively small ship, thus its design is focused entirely on using its smaller frame, to house the most weapons as physically possible. When the Mors Vistra reveals itself on the field, it should be far too late, with its silos of weapons, and its hangers deluging forth such destruction that the enemy fleet should already be destroyed.
- Escape Artist - Though the silent approach and immediate destruction is the goal, it is equally as likely that the Mors Vistra will be unable to deliver on its charge, however its focus on offensive armaments has been to the detriment of its defensive armaments, thus rather than staying engaged in a protracted battle, the Mors Vistra's first goal will be to use its speed and stealthing capabilities to withdraw, to strike again when the time is right.
- Glass Cannon - As mentioned previously, with a focus on speed and armament, along with a special focus on its stealth capabilities, the Mors Vistra's defensive capabilities have been heavily shunted, thus when engaged with any opponent for a significant amount of time, the Mors Vistra's shield, armour, and hull will find themselves continuously and exceedingly damaged and breaking, requiring a withdrawal and lengthy repair, or at worst, the loss of the ship overall.
- Relatively Small - As also mentioned previously, for a Super Star Destroyer, the Mors Vistra is a relatively small ship compared to its Kainite, and Eternalist peers, a necessary sacrifice to build a ship able to use stealth technology, and move with such speed. This disadvantage severely weakens its ability to act as independently as the mentioned ships, while also making it susceptible to defeat by even a fleet of normal star destroyers, something unthinkable for the mentioned ships.
- Need of Escort - With both defence and hanger space having too be sacrificied in favour of armaments, speed, and manouverability, it is almost unthinkable to send the Mors Vistra out without escort. Requiring both screening ships to soak up damage, and provide anti-starcraft support, while also requiring carrier ships or independent starship commands to provide fighter and bomber support.
